Budapest You’ve Never Seen Before

5.00I’ve done quite a few walking tours in Budapest, but this Art Nouveau tour was something completely different. Instead of the usual history-heavy experience, this felt like stepping into a hidden layer of the city that most people simply walk past without noticing. Our guide brought the buildings to life — not just explaining dates and architects, but showing the stories, symbols, and tiny details you would never spot on your own. After this tour, you genuinely start to see Budapest differently. What I loved most is how interactive and engaging it was. It didn’t feel like a lecture, more like a discovery. Every corner had something surprising — from colorful facades to unexpected interior gems. If you think you’ve already “seen” Budapest, take this tour. You’ll realize you’ve only scratched the surface.
GO Art Nouveau

5.00This was a marvelous introduction to this historic city with dozens of Art Nouveau buildings, which are hiding in plain sight. Our guide Barna was welcoming, passionate and extremely knowledgeable about Art Nouveau. He provided historic context for the each of the properties - hotels, apartment buildings, public buildings, thermal baths, etc. Together we crisscrossed the city, hopping on subways and trams and lots of walking. Wear your most comfortable walking shoes as this is a 3 hour tour and you will truly discover many aspects of Budapest. Before you go, download the Budapest GO transit app to your smartphone, as it’s easy to use. The transit system is clearly marked and a great way to get around Budapest.

5.00Fungararian is a retired history professor with a wealth of knowledge he enjoys sharing. The tour included use of the Metro and trams (useful as it was our first day in town). This allowed us to visit many of the most glamorous buildings in town and generally got us oriented to the city. We learned the primary features of Art nouveau so I'm sure I'll recognize it in the future. He was very accommodating through the tour and even asked if we wanted to add on an extra 30 minutes to see two additional buildings. The stained glass windows at the end of the tour were spectacular! You will see the city through different eyes after this tour!
If you like history and architecture, do not miss this opportunity with Miklos.

5.00What a marvelous tour with Miklos! As an architect, I can attest to his breadth and depth of knowledge about not just Hungarian Art Nouveau and Art Deco but the history which influenced what you see today. He led us on a well thought out tour (including the use of public transportation which saved our feet) to see about a dozen buildings. We ended with his warm hospitality at his home to see the outstanding stain glass work of Miksa Roth which survived WWII with his cat modeling for us. Sign up. You will not be disappointed!
Awesome Tour

5.00This was an excellent tour with a very well informed guide. We saw items of Art Nouveau and learned much more of the history of the city, from this specific tour guide, than we would have otherwise. Our guide was very passionate about the city. We highly recommend.
Knowledgeable Art Nouveau tour

5.00My husband and I enjoyed our 3hr tour with Miklos, focused on Art Nouveau. We learnt a great deal about three key figures in the Hungarian A.N. movement. At a moderate pace, we stopped at about a dozen buildings, to admire and discuss. Miklos graciously welcomed us to his home where he shared his personal glassworks by Miksa Roth. In addition, he answered our many questions about Hungarian history and culture. We loved taking public transport too!
Very Authentic Budapest Tour

5.00Miklos was an amazing guide! His attention to detail was fantastic and he pointed out things within the city that I have never noticed before (and I visit Budapest often). His materials, such as his maps and pictograms, were incredibly helpful in understanding Hungarys rich history. His explanations were very thorough and he presented the history in a very engaging and interesting manor. Truly an excellent experience and one of the best tours I have ever had the pleasure of going on!
